Rancho RS9000XL 0″ Lift Shocks for 1965-1973 Jeep Gladiator 4WD

Part Number: RS999113

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides unparalleled flexibility for vintage utility vehicles, featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob. This Tier 2 adjustable system allows owners to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting for heavy hauling or towing. Engineered to maintain factory ride height, these shocks solve the compromise between empty-bed comfort and loaded stability for the classic Jeep Gladiator and FJ-9 platforms.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the perfect ride quality for any load or terrain.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during sustained use.
• Nitro-Gas Charging: High-pressure nitrogen gas provides a barrier between the oil and air to ensure consistent performance by preventing aeration and foaming.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod and oil seal from road debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body; simply turn the dial to your desired setting from 1 (softest) to 9 (firmest).

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Gladiator?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace factory-length dampers without changing the vehicle’s ride height.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The increased surface area and fluid capacity allow for better heat dissipation, which prevents the shock from “fading” or losing effectiveness during heavy-duty use.
